[edit] State Projects

Hey when are we going to get a Tassie one going? (no conflict with other locations at least) SatuSuro 00:37, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Having broken ground with the Australian maritime history and Western Australian projects - I could have it up and running tonight - any objecctions? SatuSuro 01:42, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
Well actually - maybe a day or two - some of my perth friends are wizzos with some parts of templates andd thingies Im not exactly proficient with - but... could always start.... SatuSuro 01:47, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
Hehe... Us Perthies are getting around! As an occasional visitor to and admirer of Tasmania I'd be happy to help, especially with the Launceston related articles. Orderinchaos78 03:36, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unjust deletion of changes?

Hi Chuq. You deleted my changes to the rage (TV program) page. I really don't think this was reasonable. The problem was that I added a link to some software I wrote. The software however could not be more relevant to the subject matter. Furthermore you deleted all my changes, including the fact that rage puts their playlists up online each week (something I thought was sorely missing). Why delete useful information? The guidelines say "Do not simply revert changes in a dispute". Back to the software link, wikipedia is not and should not be free of links to software, commercial or otherwise. That would make some wiki pages more or less useless. First example I thought of was Computer-generated imagery, which could be explained without reference to commercial software, but would be sorely lacking without it (in fact, that page is surprisingly short and only refers to Maya, so it is sorely lacking!). Would you go about deleting all such links? I linked to software that is directly relevant to the subject matter, and my new section contained other important information which was independent of that link. Please restore my changes, or explain how anything I added was not directly relevant to the topic. Thanks, Rob.

I see you're an expert on semiregular polyhedra now too. Seems you deleted my edits there as a response to my comment above, rather than bothering to reply. Again, my edit included a link to software which allowed people to view the semiregular polyhedra, and print nets for their construction. Nothing could be more relevant to the topic, and people interested in the topic will miss out on a further avenue for studying semiregular polyhedra thanks to you. By your definition, all external links would be "linkspam". I do not appreciate the "spam" label. I hate spam, and would never edit a wiki page except by adding relevant material. By the way, my Stella (software) has its own wiki page. Are you planning to delete that too without discussion? I'd like to point out that the page was created and edited by others off their own bat, and I have not touched it (since writing that I did make one edit, to categorise it). I would appreciate some feedback and discussion before you go deleting anything else unthinkingly on topics you know nothing about. Thanks, Rob. 14:11, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, quick update, I see you did reply on the chat page of my old user-name (was expecting to find the reply here). You're right that there is a self-interest, in that I would like people to come to my website, but that in no way negates the relevance of either link. I will check the references you gave, thanks. You said that you deleted the whole section about rage's playlists because it was "pretty obvious" that they were online. How is this obvious until you're told about it? I think it's one of the best things about rage, and I didn't know for years that the playlists were online. It's certainly something I'd expect to find out at wiki.

[edit] City of Townsville

Hi Chuq, I invite your input to Talk:Townsville,_Queensland#Arbitrary_section_break in follow up to your earlier comments. Thanks, WikiTownsvillian 07:50, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Other significant editors

Are there any other consistent tassie eds who might be worth considering to notify re the change? I'll talk with orderinchaos about starting up this weekend. SatuSuro 01:14, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Oh and some other admins in case we dig a hole the wrong side of the derwent so to speak! the more who know the more likely we are able to fix up issues sooner than later...SatuSuro 01:24, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
The support from Longhair is critical - and it all came through in five minutes so to speak. The next thing is - if you are moving arts - I was proposing that order and self help you - what do you think is the most pressing issue from your perspective that you need help with - the project page, or something else? SatuSuro 02:28, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
You won't need to edit the WP:AUS template from Hobart=yes to Tasmania=yes on articles. Given enough time for the cache/database to catch up, the changes I made earlier should move them all across without any intervention required. -- Longhair\talk 02:32, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hobart_Fire

Which version is right here? Either could be, but they are quite different. --Scott Davis Talk 10:59, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

I suspected as much. I support the idea of merging it to 1967 Tasmanian fires. Both articles were created by the same user a few days apart, and Hobart fire covers more than one fire (on the same day) anyway. Thanks. --Scott Davis Talk 13:15, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ?

Is it me, or is there anyone else interested in WP Tas at the moment at all? SatuSuro 13:44, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

The new person doing north coast thingies - I do hope he/she keeps at it - they 're-did' my james kelly stub - of which it doesnt bother me - but I hope to go through WP N and WP V withthem - as the stubs are all sitting ducks - we have had some interesting things on the mainland about batches of arts which are short of the dollar when it comes to that, andways I'm off for a week myself after that! trust all is well - speak to you later..SatuSuro 01:31, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chaser vandalism

Hi Chuq. You have no sense of humour, do you? :P I made my own segment on the Chaser page and everything. You're as bad as the guy who deleted my changes to the Nowra page, which I might add were quite true and fair. Ragnarokmephy 05:53, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia vandalism

On the off chance that you are interested in why there was so much vandalism to Wikipedia from about 3:15 onwards, I was listening to Triple J and they were actively encouraging people to vandalise it. - Ta bu shi da yu 08:24, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Special:Undelete/William Cox

You may want to investigate what happened here, given you wrote the article - looks like it got vandalised and then was speedily deleted. Cheers, Daniel.Bryant 08:07, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Apologies for that. It is usually my practice to check the history but in this case I did not actually add the tag, I merely clarified it, changing {{db}} to a more specific template with reasoning, so it never occurred to me to look. Goodnightmush 12:16, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] your revert to the Dairy Farmers Stadium Page

hi mate would you be able to tell me why you reverted the info | user 60.241.50.228 added as it looked like good info. thanks Thuringowacityrep 10:14, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Request advice

Hi Chuq, I've really reached the end of my cool with Thuringowacityrep, we were in arbitration, which was fine, but our arbitrator seems to have disappeared, as you would be able to see from his talk page I have completely reached the end of where I am willing to deal with him, do you have any advice for me as to how I can go forward with this? I really am sick of constant engagement with this guy when he makes so many bias and unsourced edits and will fight tooth and nail at every point, even to the point of getting personal. I don't want to go through and revert all his edits which do not comply with Wikipedia policies, but that seems to be the only thing which will maintain the integrity of Wikipedia itself. Your thoughts? WikiTownsvillian 10:27, 15 February 2007 (UTC)


sorry for sticking my nose in but can you please read [1] as it shows that WikiTownsvillian doesn't agree with what Amerique (our arbitrator) says and it also shows that i have been very nice to WikiTownsvillian thank you Thuringowacityrep 10:57, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] alleged OR in Heroes article

Hi, I didn't add the information you removed and have never seen it before, but I would ask how it is considered OR? Either it is real, and as such it was added by the crew/creators, or it is false.

[edit] Hobart suburb navbox

  • Hi Wiki ian, The reason the non-official suburb names aren't included in the navigation box is because the navbox is to help navigate between articles - those aren't articles, they are redirects. If people search for Abbotsfield, Tasmania or Springfield, Tasmania, they will find the correct location of the information on Wikipedia. I specifically mentioned the locations in the main template page so that editors could use "related changes" to find changes to suburb articles AND redirects. -- Chuq 08:54, 26 February 2007 (UTC)


    • hey chuq. Do you not think this should be expressed on the template itself... so that people who are not as familiar with Wikipedia who see the template, will understand whats going on when they dont see their suburb in the template. I'm just trying to make the template a little more user friendly. Wiki ian 09:07, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Australian States Featured Picture Nomination

Hey there, I recently nominated your image (although I'm not sure if it was you who actually made the animation) of the evolution of the States of Australia for featured picture status here. A couple of things were raised by a voter as issues that they would like to see improved before it would achieve FP status. I'm not sure if you have the ability to do these things, becuase I certainly don't, so I thought I'd tell you in case you can fix it up and get yourself a nice shiny bronze FP star next to one of your creations.

[edit] RE:Welcome

That sort of thing happens. I would like to own a "welcome-bot" but I don't know how to program one. I do not add welcome messages to talkpages that have already been created (as I figure this may be a sign of a vandal). My policy (when I occasionally decide to welcome people) is to only choose those on the "user creation log" that have already contributed, as I can not even think of welcoming everyone, no matter how fast I try (and I've tried!). I've thought about what would happen if I welcome a vandal, and i guess the worst that would happen is he is slightly encouraged and blocked faster, the best is that he sees the Wikipedia policy, and/or see kindness in a Wikipedia editor, and thus is convinced not to vandalize. Either way, if his first edit is vandalism, I'm confident in the CVU and RC patrol (being a member of both) that they will pick it up and give him the usual warnings. But, I never answered your question directly, so to put it briefly, yes, I manually welcome people. Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia!!!--Vox Rationis 06:26, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanx

Thanx for the tip...

i was considering putting a notice up on the WikiProject Football (soccer) in Australia page to tell people the new categories and to tell them to help out and add all the individual pages from each state to their respective state categories as its too big to do by ones self... unless you have a better idea? {Santiago26 13:44, 2 March 2007 (UTC)}

[edit] revert of 3RoundBracket-Byes

Can you please let me know what pages "broke" with your revert to Template:3RoundBracket-Byes? There was little indication in your edit summary and nothing on the talk page. I would rather fix them instead of reverting to an inferior version of that template. Thanks, Andrwsc 17:16, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Would you mind if I re-reverted that template and then tried to figure out what was wrong on the specific page you mentioned? Andrwsc 21:15, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Ok, it turned out to be rather simple! You needed to use "25px" instead of just "25". This change is a consequence of using the "style=" syntax instead of the older "width=" syntax within the bracket template, and the reason for that change in the first place was that I wanted these brackets to render well with any arbitrary text size, which required setting the default widths in "em" spaces instead of absolute pixel sizes. The older "width=" syntax does not support em-sized widths. Hope this makes sense, and I hope you are ok with the results on that A-League page. Cheers, Andrwsc 21:26, 8 March 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Highway template

Hi Ian, Since you have been doing a great job updating many Tassie road/highway articles lately, I thought I would point out that there is a template, Template:Infobox Australian Road - designed for use on articles about Australian streets, roads and highways. -- Chuq 01:30, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks chuq. Will start updating pages with that template immediately. Wiki ian 01:35, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
Good work with the changes to the template! I'd like to see those sorts of changes to IAP but with a greater pool of editors there it might be going against consensus to do it there. Especially with the LGAs, some of them are extending beyond a full screen on my 1280x960 monitor... BTW as far as I know the first article with that infobox in place got featured last week - Hamersley, Western Australia. Orderinchaos78 04:14, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
Again on the highways - I've noticed an anon adding extra 'See also' links to some articles eg East Tamar Highway. While these links are useful, they are the kind of thing that should be a standard on all Tassie highway pages - therefore a template would be preferable. However, this would clog up the Hobart highway articles as they already have the Hobart Road Infrastructure box there! Would you prefer to replace your box, or merge them somehow ... or any other ideas? -- Chuq 01:21, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
re-designing would be good, but then if done properly, an entirely new design would be good. The template i've created for Hobart highways, i was thinking of making different types of them, one for tassie, highways and launnie highways etc. i dont have enough experience on Wikipedia yet to have a solid confident approach? What are your thoughts? your opinion? cheers fella Wiki ian 03:12, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Basically i agree, it would be good to include the see also links in one of these templates. Wiki ian 03:14, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Seeing you are wandering through all those tassie locations - I sure hope youre checking them for Tas project stags on the talk pages as well :) SatuSuro 12:44, 11 March 2007 (UTC) Is that something I can follow up on too? also a huge number of tas project stubs havent a single element of ref/cite/ext link - I really think there should be an effort somehow to get at least one of some sort on each as some sort of aim...SatuSuro 12:56, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for that - it is a relief to see at least one other ed doing that... the rate we are going we might even catch all tasmanian articles by about, ummm....  ? SatuSuro 00:54, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Hey melaleuca is an airstrip yes - but really a town? is it a declared tosnsite - i doubt it... prove me wrong... :) I think it should be designated as an airstrip with inhabitants rather than a town... imho... SatuSuro 06:19, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
We crossed in messages - all of them need to be tied in - and we need a map otherwise the reader is none the wiser - it all started when someone actually was trying to sort out the hells gates up at macquarie harbour (theres a hells gates in the deep south west as well) - give me day for refs ok? - bathurst, davey, melalueca, maybe some other stubs as well :) cheers I honestly think melaleuca should be based on airstrip rather than as a locality by itself SatuSuro 06:23, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Nah - i remember chatting with kelisi when he was making that map - its subjective - its the airstrip believe me - no mention of bathurst or davey - we need to find another if possible - maybe i'll get one of my indonesian projecct map making wizzkids to show me how :) it would be a good exercise in disambiguating the named items in that corner of the state... SatuSuro 06:27, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Nah - there -is-- are at least 3 very good dyk stories (if not 5) - for that area - but hey i am on too many threads to do it in short term - give me a day - i might even email you later today about them,, if you dont mind... SatuSuro 06:33, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Apologies - wll have to be a day or two - the south west tas and south west wilderness articles create precedents and have confused the issue horribly - will need a few days at least. sorry for the delay... SatuSuro 12:26, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Wednesday afternoon i should have my hand on some books that solve the issue.. sorry for delay SatuSuro 13:56, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Always late, but not the late

My most sincerest apologies - too many threads and too much of real life: OK the problem - south west tas articles are governed by the poor quality and potential repetitive nature of info in the main articles that lead into the derivative articles.
  • 1. There are a number of ways to resolve this to ignore the main articles - create or expand what would be the derivative articles and go back and fix up the main articles after.
  • 2. Try to remove repetition and poor quality main articles and then work on derivative smaller ones
  • 3. The heirarchy in my mind is 'The main south west articles' are the main lead ins - and then the possibility of the smaller separate articles isolating the separate bits.

I really think that the 'outdoor' walking track backpaccking info almost needs a separate article - rather than cluttering the other derivative articles - but would have to take time to create that one

  • 1. Bathurst Harbour
  • 2. Port Davey
  • 3. South west Islands
  • 4. South west coast
  • 5. Early european presence

These potential articles - have either included in them - or even further derivative articles - some of the potential oddity/dyk issues are there. I would rather email details than lying around here. As always its the time and energy issue - to acttually get beyond minimal stub stage is the problem for me at the moment. Too many threads and real life. SatuSuro 02:56, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

) hahah Devonport- WP Indonesia WP Indonesia class=NA, WP Australia WA=yes, WP Australia maritime=yes, WP Australia, WP Australia Hobart=yes sometimes late at night, there is the odd mistake between them :)

just as long as a Hobart suburb does not get acccidentally into Indonesian categories, I am ok I suppose :) SatuSuro 03:03, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Re your proposed change - somehow when things were being made - (if I remember rightly) - West Coast Council was carrying details about the west coast and the council - then i created the west coast article as a lead in to all the other articles (as I assumed one should) - so yes if you going to - I would have to agree - if indeed you have the WP Australia Place project talk page with the convention finally agreed on such - I would possibly remember some regions maintaining second word caps - but I cannot remember where.
  • Do you have any comments re my rabbiting above? SatuSuro 09:00, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
  • IE re the south west thing - I'd be interested whether we go in one way or the other - small arts that will cause the big ones to be re=written - or re-write the big ones to make space for the small ones ...SatuSuro 09:11, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Shirt Numbers

Hey Chuq, you didn't have to undo every edit I did. If you want to change the shirt numbers back then do so, or I can do it if you like, but the numbers of caps and goals of players, that I updated, are all correct. I used the FFA website for those. But why is it that Carl Valeri has no. 43 as his number on wikipedia but his number against China was no. 13? Same for Brett Holman, Mile Sterjovski, Michael Beauchamp, Patrick Kisnorbo. Are you going to continuously update them every time they change their shirt numbers? I'm not saying my capping thing is a better solution but I don't think their shirt numbers should determine which players should be on that page or not.

And I find including the training squad members, the unused substitutes in the current squad really makes the whole list look confusing, disorganised and ultimately that information becomes irrelevant (Alex Wilkinson hasn't been in the Socceroos squad for a while as well as Nick Ward who isn't even a capped player). If you look at any other football teams wikipage, they only include players who have been capped. I really think you should rethink your criteria for which players should be included.

Is it possible to work out a compromise? Blackjanedavey 12:14, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Good examples - John Cleese 'bleeding obvious' stuff. Yeah about the online sources - it seems I never ever find editors using either tassie state library, or national library catalogues for checking refs ever... the whole tassie project set of stubs could be elevated somewhat by the addition of some real books/articles - I have just uncovered my copies of the tasmanian year book for 1976,1977, and 1982. expect something to happen later in the month from that SatuSuro 13:35, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

put Crayfish Creek on your watch list - it looks like we have a lame edit war stretching out over the millenia on this poor small article, thanks SatuSuro 04:01, 7 April 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Help Me Understand

i just dont understand why you think Dowsing Point is a suburb and not abbotsfield or Springfield? Dowsings point is no more than Park lands, the Techno Park and The Qantas Call Centre, no residental houses, While the other 2 are strictly residential, please help me understand this. I mean to have this article in the template, we should also be including Montrose Bay and other areas that have no residential property but are known areas in Hobart. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wiki ian (talk • contribs) 01:46, 8 April 2007 (UTC).
Hi Ian, a couple of references I have used:
Both seem to show the same thing. I'm not sure what other references are out there for this kind of thing though. -- Chuq 01:56, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
I'm not trying to be stuburn here chuq, honest. The google map states that Dowsings point is a locality, I'm not argueing that for a second (eg Flagstaff gully is a locality not a suburb), the second site from Glenorchy city council would appear accurate if you didn't live in Glenorchy, and i'm guessing it's this PDF file that has formed your opinion on Springfielf and Abbotsfield. However in the top right hand corner of this pdf file there is a disclaimer about how accurate it is, possible next time you're in the Glenorchy area you might consider driving via dowsings point to see my point. Would really like to reach concesus on this matter Chuq, i have edited the page again, however i have't removed the Suburbs Template this time. I will now seek info from the Austrlian Bureau of statistics for further clarification on the matter. Cheers fella

Well that's the thing, it's not just the maps - I do actually live in Glenorchy! I'm not denying that Dowsing Point isn't an industrial area - but I'm using suburb in the 'geographical subdivision of a city' meaing rather than the common usage of "in the 'burbs". As an example, Hobart CBD is also a suburb, in the sense that Sandy Bay, West Hobart, North Hobart, etc. are, as "Hobart" is the term used by Australia Post to refer to addresses within that area. I'm also uploaded a screenshot from http://www.thelist.tas.gov.au (since you can't link directly to maps) of a map there which showns suburb boundaries. (You can display the map as shown by turning off all layers but "localities").
We could rename all these articles from "suburbs" to "localities" if you prefer? -- Chuq 05:02, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
I withdrawl my arguement, as in principle you are right. I do worry however that you may have set a precendent for other geographical areas with names in the hobart area to be classed as suburbs (eg Bowen park). Further more I will at some point be creating pages for Abbotsfield and springfield, as there are plentiful references on google stating the fact. Wiki ian 05:26, 8 April 2007 (UTC)


[edit] An award for you

For you extensive work on wikipedia i had to give you an award so here it is the

The Not Stupid Award
This medal is awarded to Chuq for knowing how to prove that two is greater than one.
You know one of the simplest proofs in the world! Great job!


[edit] Shakespeare's sonnets

Hi Chuq,

I really must say I don't see the need to remove the link to "Shakespeare's sonnnets" from the sonnets articles. I know that the link is elsewhere on the page, but it is very useful to have an easy-access and intuitively-located link to that article. I think we should put them back- what do you think?

[edit] True Believer (album)

I would like to revoke the award above. When you move a page and redirect it to a disambiguation page, you're supposed to make sure that all pages are redirected. I'm cleaning your mess up now. Please do that yourself in the future. The page you move has been around for a long time. You could have added a disambiguation link at the top of it, which would have been the appropriate thing to do. --Walter Görlitz 23:11, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Sorry if you felt that the previous was a tirade, but if you can't do a job right because it's 1:00AM, make a note of the task and do it when you're awake. I was assuming good faith, I also saw shoddy workmanship and was commenting on it. As for your unsubstantiated claim that both are of "equal significance", I didn't realize that, however you didn't cite your sources to prove the claim. Thanks. No comment required. I can see you're busy keeping other sections current. As a side note, I wasn't trying to fix any links, rather to follow the standard set up for the remainder of the Phil Keaggy albums. --Walter Görlitz 06:42, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
Please stop attacking me on my talk page. You are defaming me. As you will notice I never called you stupid above. I expect an apology. --Walter Görlitz 14:53, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
Sorry to have offended you. I suggest that take more care in the future and wish you well. --Walter Görlitz 15:10, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Infobox Radio

presenter is NOT the same as announcer. a presenter is another name for host. the announcer position is to announce. --emerson7 | Talk 22:06, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

the announcer of show differs in several ways. first it is a career field of its own usually done by voice actors. they are definitely not billed as star/host/presenter as in whad'ya know [2], and they often receive no billing at all. --emerson7 | Talk 22:32, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

lol...check out the download version of whad'ya know....it's a classic example on the subject, and a really great comedy show too. --emerson7 | Talk 02:15, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ouse District High School

Hey, I speedied the article and noticed your removal. I understand what you are saying... but no matter what the subject, the article needs to at a bare minimum assert notability of the subject in question. I will prod it instead with the same reasoning... I have AfD'd some of these not too long ago and the result was speedy delete within 1 day, so I thought that speedy tagging them in the first place would be the way to go.Garrie 09:28, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jacob Johnson (disambiguation)

Chuq, I think your disambiguation page for Jacob Johnson looks great. The Jacob Johnson we were discussing is indeed most notable because he's the father of a former president; no harm in presenting it the way you did. Mike Helms 13:41, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Would Jacob Johnson (father of Andrew Johnson) work? Mike Helms 12:24, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
I did some shuffling around, and moved Jacob Johnson to Jacob Johnson (father of Andrew Johnson). The Jacob Johnson page has been redirected to the disambiguation page, and all should be well in the Wiki universe. Mike Helms 13:22, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
Looks great. Mike Helms 13:56, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tasmanian Primary Schools

Hi Chuq,

Thanks for your kind words about Cricket in Australia. I am considering putting it through WP:GAC but there is still some work to do including cleaning it up, adding some info on leading players and expanding where possible the women's section before submitting. Any comments you may have would be appreciated.

The discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Albuera Street Primary School may be of some interest to you. I have nominated a bundle of Tasmanian state school articles for deletion as they were in effect one line stubs about what I consider non-notable schools. Certainly, no evidence of notability was asserted in the articles.

The creator of the articles has created them in good faith from a list of redlinks at List of schools in Tasmania that you created. Any thoughts you may have may be of some use at this discussion. Thanks again--Mattinbgn/ talk 02:11, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ouse District High School

Hey there. I have put the speedy tag back on. I am quoting "per the afd Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Albuera Street Primary School". I know Ouse isn't a primary school but nothing additional is being said about it. I can take it to AfD if you really disagree with the speedy tag. But even though they have said "it's a high school that exists", nobody has asserted notability and that's what A7 means isn't it? Garrie 04:29, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Steady Eddy

Hi Chuq, as a highly experienced editor / admin you know the importance of verification and sources. If prodding stubs that have been unreferenced for months seems strange to you, we'll just have to agree to differ. Also, I think your edit summary would have been more appropriate as "Added ref, rm prod" but we'll have to differ there as well. Nice one for adding a reference. Deiz talk 06:19, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
